It wasn’t a usual day for Cora Hale which was saying a lot concidering Cora was a Hale and a werewolf.

It had started off fairly usual, waking up so early the sun hasn’t even risen yet and going for a run before grabbing a coffee at the cafè on the corner of her block. Once back at her apartment she would shower and have some real food before exploring her new town more. 

Cora had lived in New York City for the past week and she still hadn’t finished exploring, in fact she wasn’t even close to being finished. 

Although the cold didn’t effect Cora as much as a usual human she did still have to wrap up during the winter so when she left the house she was dressed in dark skinny jeans, an AC/DC shirt and one of her brothers old, worn leather jackets. She slipped into her ratty converse, grabbed her phone, keys and purse before leaving the apartment.

As Cora entered a new part of town she could see the Avengers tower looming in the distance and the smell of trash and tobacco smoke grew stronger as well as something else that made Cora alert, other werewolf’s.

She brushed it off for now as there was no obvious direction the scent was coming from. 

•••

An hour later Cora was cornered in an alleyway wishing she hadent ignored the smell of other wolfs. They were yelling things about her being in there teritory and they were talking shots throwin kicks and punches until they were interrupted.

“Hey leave her alone!” A male voice yelled from the end of the alley 

“Back off buddy, this isn’t your problem” one of the male wolves snapped towards the voice

Cora could hear footsteps coming closer in her haze of pain “don’t say I didn’t warn you” was the last thing she heard before she passed out 

——————

BUCKY

He had been on the way back to the Avengers tower where he had been watching the man from the bridge - or Steve Rogers who was apparently his childhood friend atleast that was according to the exhibit in Washington - when he heard yelling and usually he would have ignored it but for some reason today was different. 

He followed the yells to an alleyway and he could see a group of people huddeled over something or someone in the back. After watching a little longer he could make out whimpering and a figure behind the group of people.

“Hey leave her alone” he yelled at the people hoping they would just leave but of course not, his luck would haven’t been that good.

“Back off buddy this isn’t your problem” one of the big men yelled trying to make him leave 

Bucky then stormed towards the group of people and tapped the man who had yelled at him in the shoulder and said “don’t say I didn’t warn you” before punching the man in the face with his left arm breaking is nose.

This made the group made and some growled while others seemed to make their eyes glow a bright blue.they took turns running at him and one by one they were all taken down with Bucky only gaining a sharpe scratch from something like a knife he must not have noticed which was odd in its self. 

He grabbed the girl off the floor and looked her over before lifting her over his shoulder and heading back towards the tower. He could see she was blessing badly and he wasn’t sure, he figured Steve would know what to do.

CORA

When she next awoke she was in a plain white room and on a kind of hard bed. she could hear annoying beaping coming from next to her so she sat up ready to make the noise go away when she go a blinding headache.

She realised she was in some sort of gown and there were wired going into her arm so she went go pull them out only to realise she was chained down with cuffs even she could not break.

“HELLO?!” She yelled before the sound of foot prints came rushing towards the room she was in, multiple pairs of foot prints accually. 

She braved herself for multiple men is white coats to come rushing through the door but what came through instead might have actually been worse


	2. Two

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Cora was right what came through the door was worse but she had to admit probably much more attractive.

CORA

As three people rushed into the room, 1 woman and 3 men Cora could admit she was shocked, this was probably due to the fact that 2 for the 3 were dressed in black spandex and the other 2 were dressed casually. The man and woman in spandex were clearly armed and while Cora could withstand a lot she couldn’t beat a bullet to the brain.

A man dressed in brown slacks and a purple button up shirt came over nervously with a clip board and as he can closer Cora snapped her teeth at his fingers and growled earning a gun pointed at her. 

The man ignored all of this and wrote something down on the clip board before leaving again while the other three stayed. 

“Who are you?” Questioned the woman dressed in spandex and flaming red hair 

“What is the an interrogation?” Cora sassed 

“Yes actually, so answer my question” said the red head 

“Fine my name is Cora, now let me ask you a question, where am I?” The teenager asked 

“Avengers tower duh, I mean look at them” said the man dressed in a band shirt and jeans while gesturing towards the other 2.

“What’s going to happen to me?” Cora asked knowing she was in some deep shit if the avengers were involved

“Depends if you answer all our question and coperate” said the red headed woman

The questions continued and Cora answered most of them apart from what she was and who her family were although she did tell them about her eyes glowing and her claws.

Soon later the 3 people left the room and Cora was left to her own thoughts until she finally fell asleep that night.

•••

The next morning she woke up to the door of her room opening and a new man came in dressed in some really long coat and with a eye patch making her giggle slightly.

“I have come to a conclusion that until you have been fully assessed you will be living in the tower without choice” spoke the man is a calm voice before leaving again and the man in spandex and the woman from yesterday came back in with the keys to the cuffs. 

As soon as she was free Cora pulled to wires out of her arm and punched the still beeping machine making the 2 pull out their guns.

“Sorry, that has been pissing me off all night” Cora said while pulling a bit of plastic out of her hand watching to cut seal back up with out a scar a which made the other look wide eyed. 

“Right then, we’ll just pretend that normal” said the man before pulling out a set of clothes from no where 

Cora got dressed and then left the room and almost running straight into a man who could be described as a dorito. 

“Sorry ma’am” he apologised wonder what made Bucky bring her in, she didn’t look to be anything special.

“No probs” the teenager replied before continuing down the hall to the lift

Cora had no idea which floor to go to so she took a random guess and hit floor 54. When the elevator stopped Cora stepped out and took a deep breath and look for the smell of something interesting and just as she wa hopping she found the smell of food.

So she followed the smell until she found a kitchen it’s a few people in it but Cora ignored them and headed straight for the fridge where she pulled out an apple and a carton of milk. She took and massive mouth full before tiring to look at the people who had stopped what they were doing to look at her.

“What!?” She asked making a face at them before going back to eating from the fridge.


	3. Three

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Twins, Video games and Workouts oh my!!

CORA

While she was eatin Cora could hear whispers and foot steps. She could tell by the amount of heartbeats still in the room that there were only two others in the kitchen, she could also hear the whispering but she was too engrossed in her food to really be paying attention to them. 

Once she was finished eating Cora closed the fridge - which had long since beeped telling her it wanted to be closed again - and looked at the people left in the room.

There was one man and a woman who looked to be the same age. The man had sliver/white hair and looked to be reasonbly fit (not her type tho) and the woman had long brown hair and brown eyes with some weird red tint that could only be seen with her enhanced eye sight. 

Cora could hear that the two people the smelt to be related were talking in another language that sounded like Russian might but she did knew they were talking about her because they kept on saying her name.

“Did you wanna actually talk to me or just keep in talking behind my back?” Cora asked scarcastically making the two people look at her almost in surprise before they vanished leaving a sliver like trail.

After deciding that this was probably normal in a tower full of super humans Cora decided to explore a little until something pulled her interest.

The teenager took a right and made her way down a hall, which lead to a stair case. Cora moved up about three floors or to floor 61. 

On this floor it look to be just one massive room but it was divided by couches. There was on tv that was huge and went from floor to ceiling and probably about 6 feet across. Black leather couches were in front of this tv, this was clearly for watching tv due the amount of dvds in the book shelf next to the tv. 

There was another area for playing games with about 3 different consoles under the tv. There was an x-box, a ps 4 and something else with some SI logo on it. 

This caught Cora’s attention so she headed over to the blue leather couches in front of the gaming tv and fired up the SI console. 

A menu appeared in the tv screen and Cora grabbed a matching remote for the console because selecting a game that had a photo of a man holding a gun on the cover. Cora moved on with the photo reminding her a little too much of hunters. 

The next game was different with a forest environment in the cover so the teenager selected the game and waited for it to load.

The game was survival based and you were put in a forest some where. Cora wasn’t the best because it didn’t make sense, looking for water wouldn’t have been the first thing Cora would do.

About an hour later Cora spat the dummy with the game and moved onto finding something else to do. About 9 floors up Cora found a gym and made her way over to a treadmill. 

She was only in there for about ten minuets before the blond man from the hallway earlier came in dressed in a white shirt and sweatpants. 

He didn’t even look at her before making his way to the punching and started beating it.

•••

That night at dinner Cora made her way back to the 58th floor only to find a group of people sitting at a large table. She recognised most of them from around the tower only not knowing one, a massive blonde man who was built like a brick shit house not that Cora was complaining.

There was take out in the table, something spicy Cora would guess. While the people at the table stopped to look at her but she headed for the fridge. She grabbed to milk from before taking a few more mouthfuls before moving in again.

“Ok that is yours now, and that’s disgusting” said the man that was dressed in a band shirt before and now looking he had a glowing light under his shirt, weird.

“I have no problems with that or it” Cora said before going on the hunt again for food finding cold pizza.

While she ate at the breakfast bar the talkin at the table started back up but not to the level it was. 

“Hey was wanna do some tests with you tomorrow, be on this floor at 10:30am” said the blind man from the gym as Cora was leaving. She stuck her thumb up without looking back before heading to the elevator.

“No where would my room be?” Cora mumbled to herself

“Miss Cora I can take you to you room if you would like” said a british voice suddenly making Cora change her eyes and bring out her claws.

“Where are you?” The teen half growled half asked

“I am JARVIS, I am a Arrificial Inteligence and I am everywhere” said the British voice

“Ok creepy but help me out” Cora demanded and the elevator started moving. It took her to floor 62. A light then showed her to the last room on the left.

The room was average size with a double bed and two bedside tables. There was a wardrobe and a dressed along with another door off to the right. 

Cora padded over to the door on the right after slipping off her shoes. Through said door was a bathroom with only the essentials, shower, sink and toilet along as a cabinet. 

Cora made her way back to the bed. She slipped out of her pants and pulled her bra off from under her shirt before turning off the light and getting in bed for the night.

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Any comments are welcome and I would love to hear what you guys think.


	4. Four

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Some Bucky POV cause why not

BUCKY

When Steve had got to the tower she pushed past the crown and the security guards to get into the lobby before he pulled his hood and baseball cap off his head letting the cameras see him. 

With in minuets Steve was down in the lobby and taking to girl off his hands. They made there way to the elevators Steve never taking his eyes off of Bucky. 

The elevator took them to a level below the ground made of cement. Bucky was showed into a room made of thick glass, he knew he wasn’t getting out for a long time but for some reason that didn’t seem to matter right now. All that mattered was that the girl he had found got better.

In the glass room there was a steal bed built into one of the walls of the round glass room. He sat in the bed not really knowing what he was meant to do next. 

About one and a half hours later Steve came back into the main part of the room.

“What do remember?” Asked Steve looking over Bucky seeing how he had changed over the years and how broken he now looked. 

“Not much, I fell off a train” Bucky said rubbing his head with his right hand like remembering have him a headache

“Yeah, do you remember much about me?” Steve questioned 

“A little, we grew up in Brooklyn, your mums name is Sarah and you used to wear newspaper in your shoes” Bucky listed 

Whole Steve was happy Bucky had remembered this much it wasn’t a lot and there was much work to be done before he would be back to the Bucky Steve knew before and during the war. 

Steve left soon after leaving Bucky to his thoughts again. He tried to remember more about who he used to be and the man that Steve apparently knew.

He tried to think about that he really did but he was just so distracted. He had so many questions about that girl he had found.

Who is she? Why were those people beating her up? Where is she from? And What was up with those glowing eyes?

That night when he fell asleep that last thing on his mind was the girl with silky brown hair and hazel eyes.

•••

The next morning he was questioned by a man with a eye patch like a pirate. He was asked things like what he was doing with HYDRA? And what could he tell them about any secret weapons HYDRA might have?

He was let out in the morning for a bathroom break before he was given some gross looking food and some water. He wasn’t worried about the food because as he was taught as a HYDRA soldier was just to eat what you given because it might be your only sustenance for a while. 

He was then put back into his glass room where he could be left to his one thoughts. Every now and then he could hear the elevator go past his floor and it made him wonder what other things were being kept down in the sub-levels of the avengers tower.

His thought always drifted when he was along and in scilence, he remembered some things from HYDRA this time, missions mostly before he finally got to think about the mystery girl again.

It had been a quiet day until the elevator next stopped on his floor


	5. Five

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Cora and Bucky meet

BUCKY

The next day Steve came to visit, Bucky would guess it was probably around 9:30 ish from what his body clock and programming were telling him. Bucky was given more food by Steve something other than the slip from the day before. It was salty and greasy and buckys new favourite.

Steve talk to him a little long for about 20 minuets telling him stories about before the war when Bucky used to take the girl out dancing.

Steve gave Bucky a hug before he left Bucky alone again to his thought which were a dark lonely place.

CORA

Cora woke up late to the robotic voice of JARVIS, this was weird in many ways but mainly because Cora woke up late. Before she had visited Beacon Hills again - and by visited she means kidnapped and takes there but that’s all technicalities - she used to sleep in until nine at lease every day but in Beacon Hill Cora had gone to school for a while means she actually had to get out of bed before seven.

When JARVIS woke her up he had said the time was nine-thirty. Cora would she time to have a quick shower and have breakfast before the so called tests started out for the day.

Cora padded into the bathroom and pulled off her clothes before turning on the water and waiting for it to heat up. She soon hopped in and started washing her hair with some expensive product.

While under the water Cora couldn’t help but wonder how she even got to the tower in the first place. She could remember the mans voice but that was the last thing before she woke up here. 

Pulling her thoughts to a holt Cora arrows out of the shower and towels off her body and hair before heading back into the bed room where a set of sweatpants and a t-shirt were resting in the dresser. So Cora go dressed into the clothes and fresh underwear before heading back ti the food leave as she had deamed it.

There were pancakes and bacon left on a plate on the breakfast bar. The teen claimed it as hers before digging in.

Five minuets later the blonde, human dorito came into the kitchen and sat next to her. He started talk about what they were going to be doing but Cora was distracted by one of the scents coming off of him.

“Who have you been with, like recently?” Cora demanded more than questioned the dorito

“Why? What’s wrong?” Steve asked 

“Take me to them now” Cora demanded again bring out her claws, teeth and eyes now letting him know he didn’t really have a choice. 

The human dorito sighed before leading Cora to the elevator. The elevator took them down for a very long time before it finally stopped on a much colder level.

When the doors opened Cora rushed over to the glass room and started banging on the door gaining the attention of the man inside.

He looked up and as their eyes connected it was like the whole world changed, he was now her main concern at all time which started with him being let out of the cage. 

“HEY!! Open the doors right now” the werewolf yelled at He human Dorito. He looked shocked but for some reason listened due to the fact that Bucky perked up as soon as he saw her.

As soon as the door opened Cora ran in and jumped at Bucky and surprisingly he caught her until of them both falling to the floor. She stuck her head into the crook of his neck breathing in his intoxicating scent.

Bucky stood there holding her really happy to see her although he wasn’t sure why. It was all going well until about ten minuets later when a group of about five made up of people dressed in black suits all with icer guns and taser.

They had been alerted that the doors for the enclosed had been left open for a long amount of time so they came to close them and put the Winter Solider back in his room only to find a girl. 

Cora was shot at multiple time with icers before she fell limp in Buckys arms making him made. He went to go at the agents but he was tazed and icered before he went down as well and the two were separated again.

3 hours Cora woke up in the same room again restrained and there was a guard at her door this time. She had a blinding headache and was not happy and being away from her new mate..

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Sorry for only one chapter tonight I’m so tried. Anyway leave me comment s and tell me what you think also the avengers shouldn’t have pissed if Cora ;)


	6. Six

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Cora angry, Cora smash, Bucky help

CORA

“LET ME OUT, RIGHT NOW!!” Cora yelled almost as soon as she work ignoring the headache

“Not until you answer some questions” said the human dorito storming into the room looking cross and kind of frazzled

“Where is he??” asked Cora, she was nervous and didn’t like being away from her bew mate. It was always like this between newly found mates, they didn’t want to seperate for the first 24 hours atleast.

“He is fine and asking for you. We want to know what that was and why it happened?” The dortio demanded

“If I tell you everything… I get to see him and I don’t have to be separated again alright?” Cora almost demanded instead of asked 

“I can’t garentee beut I cant try” said Steve 

“Then no I want to know for sure I’m not going to have to leave him again” Cora refused the offer crossing her arms across her chest

“We agree then” said Nick Fury entering the room show authority 

So Cora then spilled telling everything from the hale fire to ending up in Africa, from Derek dating Kate Argent to the recent thing with the Alpha pack

“Now take me to him” 

BUCKY

When he work up he was sore, he was also missing something and then he thought of the girl. He had caught her name, Cora it suited her no too fancy but not too improper.

He shot up and looked around frantically, after realising he was back in the glass cage alone. Steve can in a little later and tried to have him explain what had happened but how was he supposed to know.

About two hours later Cora was finally back she rushed in and then was shut in. She backed him back to the bed from where he had started pacing and pushed him to sit down.

Cora pulled her self into his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. He moved his arms to her waste gripping her hips. 

She stuck her head back into his neck and started to breath deeply. Bucky moves one of his hands up her back and started to ply with her hair.

“What’s you name? I still haven’t caught that” Cora mumbeled into his neck 

“James or Bucky bir both?” He Swiss a bit confused 

“Ok I’m going to call you James ok?” She said before pressing light kisses into his neck. He let out light sighs and almost gasps as she kissed the sensitive skin up and down.

He let out a actual gasp as she sucked a mark in the most sensitive part at the base of his neck. 

She pulled back moments later and pushed him to lay down, she then lay on top of him so he wrapped his arms around her waist. 

“Get some sleep, you look like you need it” Cora said softly in a tone the avengers listening in through the speaker in the room hadent heard yet. 

“Wow thanks doll” he said chuckling before slowly dosing odd into a deep and most peaceful sleep he has had in a long time

CORA 

Cora loved being in his arms. She had made another deal with the avengers so that she would be the one to tell him about that fact she was a werewolf and preferably soon because the full moon was with in the next week or two.

She soon followed him into a deep sleep


	7. Seven

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Tests?¿

CORA

The next morning Bucky and Cora were woken up by a hand full of men storming into the room. The men were all dressed in black with bullet proof vests, they carried big black shields and icers. 

“Time to wake up lovebirds, time to get to the labs” said Nick Fury following the small army into the room “we said we wouldn’t seperate you but we still need to test things” 

Both Cora and Bucky followed with his arm wrapped around her waist with a tight grip. Cora using her smell could tell he was worried and anxious.

“It will be fine, I’ve been through worse” Cora said quietly so only he could here with his enhanced hearing.

“That doesn’t make it ok” he mumbled back.

When they reached the labs Bucky tensed up so Cora ran her hand up and down his arms clamingly.

Cora was ushered to a metal table and was pushed to sit on it making Bucky growl and Cora mad. The men you she had learnt were named Tony and Bruce came into the room and started asking questions about things like how she because what she is and if it was possibly to become what she is. 

She answered all of their questions with half answers, they took some blood before returning her to her room/ cage with Bucky.

“I want a phone call” Cora demanded to the guard outside the room “even prisoners get them” the giraffe left before reprinting 10 minuets later with a SAT phone.

Cora called Derek’s number reaching his voice mail “Hey big brother, it’s me, I meant duh who else would be calling you big brother but that’s off topic. I was caught by some government but don’t worry it’s not all bad I met my mate. Don’t try and get me look after Scotty and make a move on Stiles you are a grown man you can do it. Love Cora XOXO” Cora left for him later

She knew he would be pissed and would try to come get her but hopefully one of the pack would stop him before he could leave. 

She gave the phone back to the guard through a slot in the door before going back to sitting with Bucky. They talked about things like favourite colours and foods quietly so not even the quads at the door could hear them.

•••

The next day Cora and Bucky were let out of the cage because they hadn’t tried to escape once. They were only allowed in the tower which Cora wasn’t too pleased about but it could be worst.

Bucky and Cora had a room each but figured they would share most of the time anyway. Cora was also cross that the agents had been to her house which was clear due to all her cloths being hung in the closet and her personal things scattered around the room. 

She didn’t have much but she did have a few pieces of Laura’s jewellery that had been left in her New York apartment while she was in Beacon Hills before uncle Peter had killed her. She also had the wooden triskilin focus point from the Hale vault in Beacon Hills.

She had gotten the tattoo burned into her back, the same spot as Derek when she had first gotten to Aftric by a pack that lived there. 

Cora had so much planned for New York and she wasn’t happy about being trapped in the tower there was a Hale vault here that Cora wanted to check out to see if there was anything helpful there and there were some werewolf bars with strong liquor so they could accually get drunk. She was going to be normal for once and now this.

That night Cora slept in Buckys room which didn’t have much. There were a few sets of clothes in his closet but other than that there really wasn’t much. He had the same bathroom off to the right sight that Cora got changed in before combing and joining him in bed just enjoying his comfort.

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Bucky and Cora have breakfast with a whole lot of awkward stares and play video games in the movie room.

The next morning Cora work up in Bucky's arms again, turning over she noticed that he was already awake and was watching her sleep. Cora pulled her self out of the bed causing Bucky to sit up as well and rubbed her eyes with closed fists.

"Showed and get dressed, I'll meet you in the hallway when I'm done" said Cora and gave Bucky a quick kiss before leaving the room. 

back in her room Cora collected her clothes for the day which consisted of dark, skinny jeans and a black crew neck as well as underwear before heading to the bathroom for a shower. while it was nice sleeping with Bucky, he was like a human furnace and so she always woke up covered in dried sweat. Cora then showered as quickly as she could not wanting to be away from her mate for long and brushed her teeth before heading out to the hallway where Bucky was already waiting. 

"Hey Doll you took your time" said Bucky when she stepped out of her room smirking at her while he pushed off the wall he had been leaning on. 

"shut up" she scowled "let's go already I'm starved" she finished before heading towards the elevator

Cora knew that breakfast would be awkward because the avengers would stare but both her and the super soldier needed food eventually, the elevator ride was silent and Bucky took the time to wrap his arm around her waist before they exited into the communal and kitchen floor. 

when the elevator stopped the two mates stepped out together and walked into the kitchen part of the floor where Bucky headed for the fridge and Cora grabbed a seat at the other end of the island to Steve. Bucky pulled out eggs and a varieties to vegetables and meat causing Steve to raise his eyebrows, he had no idea that Bucky knew how to cook. 

Bucky and Cora made friendly and joking conversations while the food was cooking with the occasional kiss and Steve just watched with amazement, in all the time that Bucky had been free from HYDRA (mind you that hadn't been very long) this was the most Steve had seen Bucky act like the man from the 1940's. as much as Steve didn't like Cora but maybe Cora would be good for him. 

"you know you could take a picture, it would last longer" Cora snapped at Steve causing him to realise he had been thinking so long that the pair had almost finished eating.

"Don't mind the punk, Doll" said Bucky causing her to calm almost straight away.

Cora pack up the dished before grabbing Bucky's metal arm and leading him into the elevator and up to the movie and games room. Bucky took a seat on the massive couch in front of the even bigger TV which Cora got to set up the video game of choice. when Cora sat back down she had a TV remote and a console controller with the letters PS4 written in the middle. 

Cora started up an account on the console before firing up a game called 'Forza Horizon 3' which looked like a car racing game to Bucky but he wasn't really paying attention because he was also playing with Cora's hair. it wasn't go before Cora rage quit and shut off the TV. Cora and Bucky decided that they would change and then head to the gym for a but of a work out before dinner.

Cora got changed into work out leggings and a sports bra before grabbing a water bottle form the mini fridge in her room and meeting Bucky in the hallway. she was met with the pleasing sight for Bucky in sweat pants that were tight in all the right places and black wife-beater. 

"lets go" said Bucky before grabbing his mates hand
